About this map

Econfina Creek carves a winding path through the center of this landscape, anchoring the small settlements of Econfina and Bennett in northern Bay County. The terrain is defined by a dense concentration of interior ponds and wetlands, such as the Swift Cr Swamp and the Bay Gall Ponds, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Florida Panhandle. Genealogical interests are represented by the Gainer Cem and Porter Cem, located near the creek and the community of Econfina.

Outdoor recreation and historical land use converge here, as the Florida National Scenic Trail traverses the northern section through the White Water Lakes region. The mapping of the CCC RD reflects the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the area, providing access to the more remote sections of the pine flatwoods and cypress strands that characterize this portion of the Washington County and Bay County border.
